Residency and Master Dance Workshops at Hong Kong International Collective Artist in Residency
The (HKICAROS), Hong Kong International Collective Artist in Residency for Opportunities and Sustainability, is taking place from the 1st to 31st of May 2017 where local and international artists will be able to collaborate, interact, exchange and share their creative process so as to receive a constructive feedback, develop and present their works at the HKICF. The name ‘ICAROS’ is taken from the Greek Myth named Daedalus and Icarus (the name here is spelled little different for the purposes of the residency project).
The Myth says that Daedalus managed to create gigantic wings, using branches of osier and connected them with wax to escape with his son Icarus from a labyrinth. Icarus being excited flew too close to the sun, which caused the wings to melt, and fell into the sea and drowned. The Icarian Sea, where he fell, was named after him and there is also a nearby small island called Icaria. Taking this Myth in a metaphoric manner, the residency will offer a substantial support and will foster young artists and more professional ones, to ‘fly’ safe to their new and grown up careers. It is a meeting point and a safe-space for the spur of many more collaborations to start in a national and international level.
The Residency offers
– Rehearsal-studio,
– morning master dance classes (only weekdays – Flying Low),
– master workshops (only weekends – check on schedule for the teachers),
